How to Ride the Motorcycle
76
General
Make sure the motorcycle has been
maintained according to the scheduled
maintenance chart.
Steering
Check that the handlebar turns
smoothly without excessive free play or
tight spots. Make sure that the control
cables do not restrict the steering in any
way.
Luggage
Make certain that any luggage
containers are closed, locked and
securely mounted to the motorcycle.
Brakes
Check that the front and rear brakes are
functioning properly.
Tires
High-speed operation is hard on tires,
and tires that are in good condition are
crucial to riding safely. Examine their
overall condition, inflate to the correct
pressure (when the tires are cold), and
check the wheel balance. Securely install
the valve caps after checking tire
pressures. Observe the information
given in the Maintenance and
Specification sections on tire checking
and tire safety.
Fuel
Have sufficient fuel for the increased
fuel consumption that will result from
high-speed operation.
Warning
The handling characteristics of a
motorcycle at high speed may vary
from those you are familiar with at
legal road speeds.
Do not attempt high-speed operation
unless you have received sufficient
training and have the required skills
as a serious accident may result from
incorrect operation.
Warning
The items listed are extremely
important and must never be
neglected. A problem, which may not
be noticed at normal operating
speeds, may be greatly exaggerated
at high speeds.
Caution
In all countries except Australia and
New Zealand the exhaust system is
installed with a catalytic converter to
help reduce exhaust emission levels.
The catalytic converter can be
permanently damaged if the
motorcycle is allowed to run out of
fuel or if the fuel level is allowed to get
very low. Always make sure you have
adequate fuel for your journey.
